My W2 wattmeter suddenly stopped working properly this morning along with that dreaded smoke smell. The smell came from the 2KW sensor unit and upon inspection R22 which is a 1K in the sense circuit is burned. Of course it's surface mount but I think I can replace it OK. If not with another surface mount I could possibly be able to mount a leaded resistor. I was operating at 100 watts on 20 meters into a low SWR when this happened. Has anyone else had this happen? What could have caused this? I have also contacted Elecraft tech support about this but I know there are plenty of experts on this forum too!
